The only road paved by dead souls
Shoveling sons keeping good time
Digging the holes where others reside
Fortunate sons keeping us awake
Into the night's misgivings we fade
And you never will be confused by the few who ride down
The only road paved by dead souls
And they never will credit you on the few times you ride
The only road worth your time

04 - All the Ghosts
-------------------
[Note: this song is mostly piano with light electric guitar.
The piano would be too hard to tab exactly for guitar,
so these chords are not exact voicings, but just the basics.]
EmEm/GbEm/GCBEmEm/GbEm/G
Have you been paid
CB
To bring us down
EmEm/GbEm/GCB
against our will again?
EmEm/GbEm/G
And how'd you follow us?
CB
And how'd you see?
EmEm/GbEm/G
Wishing's lost to the touch
C
To see your eyes are painted shut
EmEm/GbEm/GCB
And we won't come clean.
EmEm/GbEm/GCEmEm/GbEm/GCB
Are you too late
To serve again a locked out salary?
Just buy me something.
I'll pay you later for these things.
EmEm/GbEm/G
We'll be cleared from your list
C
And all the ghosts who won't be missed
EmEm/GbEm/GCB
Won't come clean

Find the hour to tell me places I have never been
EAFD7GC
And educate me of all things lost through sleep and wasted time
EAFD7
Out past the break and the slips
FD7A row of foreign ships
GC
Our amnesty lies
Keep breathing lines from the books and sleep with your pants on
Hold allegiance 'til your contract's up, your time is out
Too real your head is a fog
And all that was done
Is dead on the run
Keep breathing page after page
Hire me today
Or throw me in jail

But let me take you down to the lake so we can get paid

one more time around
And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy
And only one thing could release you from your misery
Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day
Fight the ways of a slow production day
Until you're real I'll fall into your arms of hatred and harm
Until you're safe I'll fall into those places you've been running from so far
And you won't feed me angry pages anymore
The salted windows you will view me from no more
But let me turn you down so the rest of us could hear
one more time around
And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy
And only one thing could release you from your misery
Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day
Fight the ways of a slow production day

12 - Gas Station Downs
----------------------
[Note: Okay, so they get a little tricky here with us. This was by far the hardest song to figure out,
and I'd welcome any corrections, especially to the "Have fun done" part. I'm pretty sure I got it,
though. The B7add4 and D9(no3)/A are outlined rather than strummed, so it's pretty easy to hear the
individual notes.]
B7add4 = [X2120X]
D9(no3)/A = [X00210]
Organ Intro [transposed for guitar]:
AEmAAAEmECBbDBbC walk to DECBbDBbECBbD
Show your face 'round here again

We'll have to burn the stations down

One by one

It's too bad your face

reveals the state you'll be living in

And in the time
BbD
It takes you to run
BbC
From end to end, you'll be dead again
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
Have fun done
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
You're the same in the photograph
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
So keep your hands tied up

You're the type everyone tries

to have and run their watches by

Only time ain't what they need
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
Half contained
B7add4
With the land
D9(no3)/A
Half with the cell again
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
And if it made you think like others do
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
Come a long way to make you think like them
